The inverter and robotics queues are empty. Both categories were listed July 28, 2026; neither has a grant yet. On the drone precedent — listing to first grants in about twelve weeks — the first names publish this autumn. The manufacturers on that notice will spend every month afterward as the only approved names their buyers can see. There is no better marketing an applicant can buy.

Onshoring is the price of permanence. Drone approvals now run indefinitely — conditioned, in the Commission's own words, on the onshoring plan in the application. Router grants instead expire on eighteen-month terms, and that renewal wave begins October 2027.

Family and class grants are escalating. Calix moved from one model to a model list to a whole class across three filings; Sagemcom converted five models into a class. The agencies reward a record built to carry a product line, not a SKU.

Allied origin is winning. Taiwan alone accounts for six of seventeen router grantees, with Korea, Japan, France, Finland, Israel, and half of Europe beside them — and not one PRC applicant on the register. Many grantees filed through US entities with foreign production, which is precisely the structure we build.
